Excellent
I like Dr Saucedo very much
Drs. Saucedo and Semenoff are the best. Already sending them referrals!
The staff and Dr. Saucedo were amazing. The hospital was a surgery center. Everybody was so nice and so caring. And it was a, considering the situation, a very good experience.
Dr. Saucedo is, I think, one of the finest doctors I've ever been to in my whole 83 years in my life. I recommend him and I trust him implicitly.
Quality diagnosis and treatment
I have absolutely no complaints with the staff or office.
Dr Saucedo is tops in his practice. it was Methodist's loss to loose him and your gain.
Overall, Dr. Saucedo is great. His assistant, however, was offensive . I don't remember the assistant's name - he was relatively tall, and had dark brown hair. The assistant was rude and impatient; he talked at me instead of to me. His demeanor was off putting. For reference, my appointment was at 8:30am and I arrived almost a half hour early.
I'm extremely satisfied with my doctors, his staff, the surgical team. I would recommend them to anybody. Not only are they good physicians, but they're good people. I'm very fortunate to have them for my doctors.
Everyone was so kind to me,I felt very good being in their care. Thank you'll for all you've done for me
Dr. Saucedo and Alex PA kept me informed. I was totally relaxed and confident with their care. Thank you
The personal touch makes a big difference in the overall experience. Dr Saucedo was very patient with answering questions and making sure I understood everything
Dr Saucedo is a wonderful doctor. He is kind and compassionate. He takes his time and ensures you have a thorough understanding of all aspects of treatment. I have previously been to several hand doctors and he has far exceeded my expectations and has provided a superb level of care.
Dr. Sestero has always treated me with the most respect and I contribute a lot of my success after surgeries due to him and his team. This visit, the front office helped me with insurance, so that was extremely beneficial and they were all very kind and I enjoyed going through the voting process that I underwent for nominations to be top candidates or whatever they had going on. That's all I had to say. Thank you.
Yes, I like Dr. Saucedo very much. He's a good doctor. Only one problem. It takes a very long time to get an appointment with him. So it would be nice if that time could be shortened.
Dr Saucedo is a very conscientious practitioner and very concerned about patients outcomed
Awesome place. Awesome Dr. Very Pleased.

Dr. Saucedo and his entire staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable in the area of their profession and specialty.

Awesome staff. Love Kaylee. Alex and James

My experience with Dr. Saucedo is has been wonderful from the beginning. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I appreciate his ability to explain the details of the injury, the options of care, and any future treatments needed. He is also very kind. Also, the entire front office is amazing. Thank you!
Dr. Saucedo is amazing!
I was still under anesthesia when he came in to brief me. He spoke to my family but I would have like to get my orders from him. No follow up call which would have been nice since he had not talked to me after surgery
Ut,physicians, rockets sports meds if you are seeing these people for health needs you are doing the very best for yourself
